I'm a 600 point diamond random player, and I got totally waxed by a protoss player who went 2 base carrier/zealot/stalker against my 4 base roach/hydra/corruptor army. I was extremely surprised at how poorly my corruptors fared against a stack of carriers.

I thought I was playing a game where I could max out, expand over the map, and crush his army when he was forced to move out, but this plan totally didn't work. My best guess is that you should go into heavy pressure mode when you see the fleet beacon.

Meh, there isn't a real safe tech route to carriers. Imo you can't afford carriers from 2 bases, you need way too much gas cos a low amount of carriers won't cut besides speed void rays or void rays in general are as awesome as carriers if you can produce from 2 stargates. They do sick damage, cost less resources, are available much faster and way more mobile. That said, I wouldn't get carriers just for the sake of getting carriers when void rays do the job aswell and probably better. I have to admit, I just went carriers once in a 1v1 It was fun but if you make it into the very late game I found void rays to be more versatile.
